JAKARTA For Toni Kroos, winning the 2023/2024 Champions League is the perfect end to end his career as a Real Madrid player. The 2023/24 Champions League final match on Sunday morning, June 2, will be Kroos' last game as a Real Madrid substitute before he retires after defending the German national team at Euro 2024 later. "This is the perfect end, the ending I've always dreamed of. I'm truly grateful to all of you," said the 34-year-old midfielder. Kroos played starter by Carlo Ancelotti in this final match. He contributed to one assist so Real Madrid won 2-0 over Borussia Dortmund. Kroos said he was very grateful to be able to spend a decade with Real Madrid and end his career with Los Blancos. "What I've experienced for 10 years at this club I'll never forget. Maybe one day I'll miss moments like this," continued Kroos.

"I made the decision to retire because I want to live a different life. I will certainly miss playing for Real Madrid, but I want to leave in this way and I am very happy to be able to make that happen." Kroos also gave appreciation to his teammates who worked hard to win this match, because Dortmund really performed well in the first half. "We want to win this match and we prepare for this match as well as possible. However, our performance in the first half was not good," Kroos continued. After this final party, Kroos will join his German national team counterparts to prepare for Euro 2024. Kroos will try to help his country to win the competition before finally hanging up his boots.
